Abstract
Abstract A motion picture film having digital audio data recorded in at least one sound track thereof. Such digital audio data includes a plurality of bytes of data each having 8 bits of data. Each respective bit of each byte of audio data is recorded in a sound track of the film in the film running direction and each byte is arranged side-by-side in a direction normal to the film running direction to form a compression processing block. C1 parity data is added to each such compression processing block and C2 parity data is added after a predetermined interval of plural compression processing blocks. Error correction may be performed by utilizing the C1 and C2 parity data for each compression processing block and at the predetermined interval of plural compression blocks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
An apparatus for reading optical data from a motion picture film including at least one digital sound track extending along a film running direction having a recording area with lines extending in a direction normal to the film running direction and columns extending in the film running direction, comprising: a light emitting diode for emitting a readout light radiated on said motion picture film, light emission controlling means for driving said light emitting diode by pulsed lighting at a pre-set timing in a controlled manner, said light emission controlling means operating to drive said light emitting diode to emit the readout light during a time interval substantially less than a time interval corresponding to a width of a line of said digital sound track, and a CCD line sensor for receiving the readout light radiated by said light emitting diode to said motion picture film, said CCD line sensor reproducing the readout light to digital data by photo-electric conversion and outputting the reproduced digital data.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
165 words
An apparatus for reading optical data from a motion picture film including at least one digital sound track extending along a film running direction having a recording area with lines extending in a direction normal to the film running direction and columns extending in the film running direction, comprising: a light emitting diode for emitting a readout light radiated on said motion picture film, light emission controlling means for driving said light emitting diode by pulsed lighting at a pre-set timing in a controlled manner, said light emission controlling means operating to drive said light emitting diode to emit the readout light during a time interval substantially less than a time interval corresponding to a width of a line of said digital sound track, and a CCD line sensor for receiving the readout light radiated by said light emitting diode to said motion picture film, said CCD line sensor reproducing the readout light to digital data by photo-electric conversion and outputting the reproduced digital data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light emitting diode emits the readout light during a time interval corresponding to a center portion of a line of said digital sound track.
